My New Years resolution is to blog at least twice a week so check back often, and don't forget to visit us at www.accucutcraft.com and www.facebook.com/accucutcraft. It's going to be a great social year!

Creating Dimensional Flowers!

By: Traci Armbrust

Marah Johnson is at it again, creating stunning dimensional flowers using AccuCut Craft dies and our little Mark III machine.  The die she is using in this video is Flowers #28 but we have a huge variety of flowers you could do this same technique with.

 

Love that video!  Here are a few more 3-D flower projects. This one was also created by Marah using our clear plastic, Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks and Flowers #16.

 
 How about an accordian flower created by Vicki Chrisman using our Accordian Fold #3 die.

 
Our newest 3-D Flower die  is a great investment because there are 3 sizes on the die and making them 3-D is a snap because the crease is already on the flower for easy bending.

 
So start this spring off with a bunch of fabulous die cut flowers popping of pages, albums and cards. Happy flower making!

 

 

 

Gatefold Album by Arlene

 By: Traci Armbrust

I just had to post this beautiful album by Arlene Cuevas.  She created a gatefold album from the new Theme Album set designed by Danelle Johnson. There are so many beautiful details I knew I had to share it, not only on AccuCut Craft's facebook page, but here too.

 
 
 

 
 

 Thanks for the inspiration Arlene! Check out Arlene's You Tube video on this project.

Store Spotlight: Events Couture

By: Traci Armbrust

Located in Roslyn Heights, New York, Events Couture truly makes the event. 

 

From corporate events to small personal baby showers, their website and store are full of innovative, beautiful ways they are raising the bar on party supplies and design.  One project in particular is a cute baby shower invite, direction card, and registry card.  The registry card is not a Pinnovation die, but they were able to make a template and lay the printed version just right on the die every time.  If that seems like a lot of work and you are creating hundreds, you can contact our Custom Die Department and have a die with pins created.  This can be done with almost any of our existing dies or with a creation of your own.

 

Events Couture also has a Facebook page with tons of beautiful pictures of their exquisite work and items they sell in their store and online. Congratulations on your success and thanks for the inspiration!
